March 23, 1899. AMERICA'S WITTIEST SPEAKER. CHAUNCEY DEPEW SAYS LIFE HAS DONE HIM A GREAT DEAL OF GUOD. While Mr. Depew is known everywhere as being a successful railroad president, it is perhaps not too much to say that his greatest fame is as an after dinner speaker. In this field he is unap- proached, his marvelous memory never failing him. In speaking of Lire, Mr. Depew might say if he were asked : “T began reading Lire several years ago, and noticed at once a marked improvement in every- thing I said. For many years I had been troubled with long-standing jokes, and those who listened to me had frequent pains in the back of the neck. It got so at last that I was afraid to venture out at night. One day by chance I picked up a copy of Lire, and from that day to this have experi- enced no trouble at all, even when called upon in the most unexpected manner. I can cordially recommend Lire to all in my line. I keep an old file of it constantly on hand.” Much labor and research is necessary to those in Mr. Depew's field, and this is only one of the countless testimonials that we are constantly re- ceiving from impromptu speakers all over the land. Begin by taking Lire now, and in a few years you will make a reputation for yourself.
